...Soviet and Cuban presence. Among them: commitment to social justice and economic development, respect for African nationalism, and the fostering of human rights. That evening, as 80 Representatives and Senators gathered for an off-the-record briefing by President Carter, Vance's star seemed to ascend even higher. Though both Brown and Brzezinski were also on hand, many observers reported that Carter seemed to be making a deliberate effort to ensure that the limelight stayed steadily on the Secretary of State...
...better take a second look. As his words to the mayors in Atlanta show, Teddy Kennedy is talking about ways to keep the lid on spending. He is even arguing that his $27 billion national health-care plan is the essence of frugality; otherwise health costs will be even higher.

...civil appeals management plan, opposing lawyers are routinely brought together to explore the possibility of settling the case before the circuit court judges will even hear it. As a result, the number of cases settled or withdrawn before hearing last year in the Second was one-third higher than in the other circuits. If the case goes forward, further separation of wheat from legal chaff occurs. Purely technical motions that may obscure issues or delay hearings are quickly resolved. In simpler cases, lawyers are urged to make their points in typewritten "letter briefs" of no more than ten pages...
